Help Bring Peace to the Holy Land

What You Can Do to Help Bring Peace to the Holy Land!

Together with Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP) raise your voice with others in support of bold and necessary U.S. leadership to achieve a just, durable, and comprehensive agreement to end the conflict in the Holy Land.

As Christians we are called to live at peace with our neighbors, to confront evil with justice, and to respect the dignity of every human being. The pain and suffering on both sides must end. Christians must help realize a better future for all Israeli and Palestinian children.

This is how you can work for peace in the Holy Land:

1. Stay informed by getting CMEP’s Action Alerts. Sign up today at www.cmep.org. CMEP will keep you current on developments in Washington.

2. Tell your elected officials what you want! It’s easy. Just be on the lookout for messages in your email inbox with “CMEP Action Alert” in the subject line, and let your representatives know what you want done.

3. Amplify your voice! Get others you know involved by forwarding this message to a friend: “I’m working with Churches for Middle East Peace to help bring an end to the conflict in the Holy Land. I hope you will add your email address to CMEP’s advocacy network by visiting their website www.cmep.org.”

4. Build community and stay educated! Come to CMEP’s annual Advocacy Conference. Meet people there like you who want to tell their Members of Congress and their staff to work for peace. And then do it! CMEP’s next Advocacy Conference in Washington, D.C. is June 13-15, 2010.
